The NHL released its 2019-20 schedule before today, and fans can now formally circle Wednesday, October 2 as opening night, with a four-game slate, highlighted from the St. Louis Blues raising their first Stanley Cup championship banner before confronting the Washington Capitals. The Blues open the season as moderate underdogs, paying +700 to win the Western Conference, and +1400 to repeat as Champions.
After a disappointing first round removal, the Tampa Bay Lightning will be the favorites at Sports Interaction to win the Stanley Cup +700. It needs to be interesting to see what General Manager Julien BriseBois does with this roster during free service considering they recorded an impressive 62-win regular season. The Lightning open their season on October 3 up, home to the Florida Panthers. The Panthers opened as +2000 underdogs on the Sports Interaction futures , but this number could drop if some of those free agency rumours are true.The leading Canadian team believed to catch the Cup are the Toronto Maple Leafs at +950. They have taken the maximum action to date. They start the season, home to the Ottawa Senators (+15000) on opening night Wednesday (October 2). On that same night, Dave Tippett and his Edmonton Oilers (+2500) sponsor Calder Trophy winner Elias Pettersson along with the Vancouver Canucks (+4000). The Montreal Canadiens begin the 2019-20 campaign on the Street in Carolina on Thursday, October 3. Can there be a value on the Habs? Their futures amount is +3300. The Flames (+1400) and Jets (+1600) are ranked in the top eight teams, chances shrewd at Sports Interaction. Both also open up the season on the street, with the Flames in Colorado, along with the Jets in New York to play the Rangers (October 4).These Western Conference rivals also met on Saturday, October 26 at Regina at the Tim Horton’s NHL Heritage Classic.
The NHL has two other outdoor games. First off, live from the Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Texas (January 1st, 2020) the Dallas Stars will host NHL Winter Classic against division rival Nashville Predators. While the Predators are +900, the Stars check to acquire the Western Conference. The NHL Stadium Series takes place at Falcon Stadium, situated on the campus of the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs. The Avalanche are a trendy pick to win the Stanley Cup (+1200) host the Los Angeles Kings, that are a longshot in +8000.
